Hi !
Thanks for the post. I've following the instructions posted on another site to update my Saab 9-3 2005 navigation system without success.
I've burned several Verbatim +R DL with Alcohool 120% at the slowest speed in 2 DVD burners but still
I get a message indicating that No DVD is inserted (or simillar).
The image I've downloaded is slightly bigger (6.14GB) that that on on your post and its name is WE_06Q4.iso
Is the image different ?
Also, how can I check my DVD? As for the model, I think it must be writen there somewhere ... but what about firmware?
I've been told that the DVD I've created works for some models even of the same year but not for others...So it seems to me that the firmware version
is somehow important for this matter ?
Any ideas ?
Best Regards.

There is absolutely no need to update without a reason
Only when after insertion of the new dvd a warning is displayed: Database format incomatible" you should update"
Also remember that the updates for Panasonic 2300/Saab 9-3 and the Mazda units are not identical!

If the DVD cannot be read as in your case, the only solution is to try another burner, program, media or even computer

Thanks again for the replies.
Maybe you could help me out to find out which DVD hardware I have, as I might be burning DVDs for nothing.
I'm afraid to unlok the frame protecting the DVD reader, because if something bad happens, my dealer is 200km away...
I have a dark box wich only reads SAAB Navigation System. On top there is the following information:

Hi there.
I could not yet create a DVD for my 2005 saab 9-3.
A working DVD copy that works on another Saab doesn't work on mine and some others having this issue.
There must be something more to it... firmware...something...
I t was supposed to be a Panasonic right ? but I couldn't read it anywhere from those serial and model numbers that I wrote here previuously....
Regards

The Panasonic system with the SDAL format DVD was only used in the Saab 9-3 up until 2005
After that the Denso system was fitted.
I do hope you are smart enough to compare the contents of your present working DVD with that of the downlaoded one

Denso unit ? I'll search for an upgrade then.
My working copy is not comparable, as it is less than 4 GB. The only thing for sure, is that is SDAL format.
Does this means than everyone that was able to use this DVD owns a pre 2005 9-3 ?
Mine has already fiber optics in it...
